What size wheels? Stock suspension? Stock alignment?

That said, it’s the actual measurement that’s important, not the series (30, 35, etc). |

Reporting back in after season opener at Summit Point this past weekend.
ZM2 I think this is OBE because you already got some wheels...but for anyone reading that is shopping or interested... I have: APEX FL-5 Front: 18x9.5" ET28 - 265/645-18 Pirelli Slick APEX FL-5 Rear: 18x10.5" ET40 - 285/645-18 Pirelli Slick These are the newer versions Apex came out with in February with the M2 in mind. No spacers required. Very pleased with combination. No rubbing, no issues, lots of grip. I ran most of the weekend on stock wheels and Contis as the weather was in the 30's and 40's and even some snow...but once it warmed up Sunday I was able to try them out. I recommend them to anyone in the market. |

However, I run 265/285 as my street set and some guys do 295/30 on the rear OEM rims. The tire section of the forum has several threads regarding tire fitments on the OEM wheels. |

Looks good with 245/295 - why didn't you go wider at the front ?
How's the balance with only wider 295 rears ? What suspension mods have done to yr LBB car ?

The RE71 in 265 square is a great all around tire, wet or dry, but several seconds slower. My overal favorite is the BFG G-Force R1 in 265/35, it fits without issues ( still using a 5mm spacer in front), has a contact patch equal to some 275s, wears well and gives me great lap times. |

That's a close call...because of varying tracks and temps my observations are purely subjective. I felt the R7 was slightly faster when fresh but fell off a lot quicker than R1. The R1 withstood many more heat cycles. The real preference for the R1 is that it comes in 265/35 and fits like a glove without rubbing. The R7 is only available in 275/35 and I had to do more with spacers and ride height to avoid rubbing with high compression.

These measurements I know works well on the fronts:
265/30 19 ET23 https://www.willtheyfit.com/index.ph...=10&offset2=23 And I guess this would work at the rear? It's just a wider tyre on the OEM size wheel. 295/30 19 ET40 https://www.willtheyfit.com/index.ph...=10&offset2=40 My idea is to get four (or actually six) 19x10 ET40 wheels and run 17mm spacers up front. This would give me great flexibility for square or staggered rubbers in different combinations. Is ET40 optimal for 295 on 10"? Or should it be just a little bit further out? Not considering optics here, just track use. Last edited by MagnusT; 04-11-2018 at 04:01 PM.. |

It's just slightly lowered (Öhlins are conservative on lowering and I both agree and follow their recommendations)
And max camber with original rear end is around 1.9 Anyone measured or phtotographed how much space there is between 10" OEM rim and suspension in the rear? |

I’m going ET45 in the rear with the 295/30. Will have some feedback on inner and outer clearance on Friday. |

So, my test fit is looking pretty perfect, will post pics later. Details below.
Suspension: Dinan coilovers Front- 13mm drop, -2.75 camber Rear- 20mm drop, -2.0 camber Wheels: VMR V710FF Front- 19x9.5 ET33 Rear- 19x10.5 ET45 Tires: Pirelli Trofeo R Front- 265/30/19 Rear- 295/30/19 Fit: Front- Great. Clears the suspension without a spacer, and plenty of room to the fender. Rear- Close on the inner and outer clearances. For outer clearance, we're going to trim the fender/bumper tab just to make sure the tire doesn't rub under compression. For inner, there's a few mm clearance. Could a 305 fit on the rear? I don't know, it'd be very close. From what I'm seeing, I wouldn't try it on a lowered car. There's only a few mm clearance on both sides with this setup. |

And this is 295 on stock 10" ET40 compared to your 295 on 10,5" ET45
https://www.willtheyfit.com/index.ph...0-5&offset2=45 Thinking... The tyre on your 10,5" rim will sit on the rim's outer edge 1,3mm further out than the 10" OEM rim edge. BUT, both tyres being 295, on the 10,5 rim it will be pulled further inwards due to the 10,5 inner rim edge being 11,4mm further in than the OEM. So even if your rim outer edge is 1,3mm further out the tyre will probably stick out less than on OEM. Question is how much... Last edited by MagnusT; 04-13-2018 at 09:29 AM.. |
